This university offers a lot of different programs for students. They have different fields of study, and have over 200 majors to choose from. With small class sizes, as a student, you really get individualized attention. In the School of Communication, my class sizes are no more than 20 people per class. They also offer many study abroad programs, some venturing to places one would never even dream of going out to. Some of these places include Moscow, Morocco, Israel, Egypt, China, and South Africa. Opportunities are endless here.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The weather is nice, being that the school is located in South Florida, and in Miami. The campus is very different from the regular humdrum academia campuses; there are no large brick buildings, many classes are taken outdoors, and there are plenty of palm trees to go around. This campus is really beautiful.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Well, this is the one thing that I don't like about UM -- tuition costs. For paying about $54,000 a year, one would assume that they are getting a royal treatment. Sure, the diversity is great, the campus is located in the prime of South Miami, and the classes are great, but the tuition is expensive.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure you explore all your options. While this is a great school, you need to make sure that the prospective major you are choosing is included at UM. Don't come here because you want to see warm weather - you have the rest of your life to see that. Come down to Miami because of the educational opportunities available here. Come down because you know you will receive the best undergraduate/graduate education here. Make your decisions after you visit all your chosen schools and make a decision based on financial need. It is very expensive to attend this school.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The University of Miami is great for students who want to major in: Architecture, Pre-med, all science majors, music majors, political science majors, communication majors (including advertising and public relations), and pre-law majors. This school really has an extensive array of choices. You will always have a colorful palate to choose from here at UM. Also, the school is great for those looking to dip their feet into different cultures. Almost 52% of the kids attending UM are out-of-state kids, and they all come from different countries and backgrounds. This would be a great place to meet different people. If you are into that, then UM is the place to be!
